Pre-Buy

Like Carfax, but for aircraft

Get a complete picture of any aircraft before you buy or sell. Upload maintenance logs, analyze compliance, and share verified reports.

For Buyers

Know what you're buying

Before you fly across the country for a pre-buy inspection, understand what you're looking at. Upload the seller's maintenance log photos and get a complete analysis in minutes.

  • AD compliance check. See which Airworthiness Directives apply and whether they've been completed.
  • Maintenance timeline. See the complete history of annuals, 100-hours, and major work.
  • Red flag detection. Gaps in records, missing entries, or concerning patterns are highlighted.
  • Upcoming costs. Know what's due soon so you can factor it into your offer.

For Sellers

Sell faster with verified records

Buyers are more confident when they can review records before they visit. If you already have your maintenance logs in Airworthy, sharing is instant.

  • One-click sharing. Generate a link and send it to prospective buyers.
  • Build trust. Verified records show you have nothing to hide.
  • Filter serious buyers. Buyers who review records first are more likely to make offers.
  • Transfer records. When the sale closes, transfer the account to the new owner.

FAQ

Common questions

How accurate is the analysis?

Our system extracts data directly from your maintenance log photos and cross-references it with the FAA AD database. The accuracy depends on the quality and completeness of the logs provided. We flag any gaps or unclear entries for your review.

What if the seller doesn't have digital records?

No problem. The seller can photograph their paper maintenance logs, or you can request the photos and upload them yourself. Most logs can be photographed in under an hour.

Can I share the report with my mechanic?

Yes. You can generate a shareable link or PDF that you can send to your mechanic before the pre-buy inspection. This helps them know what to focus on.

What happens after I buy the aircraft?

If the seller has an Airworthy account, they can transfer ownership to you. All records come with the aircraft, and you can continue using Airworthy to track ongoing maintenance.

Is there a cost for pre-buy reports?

Sellers pay $349 one-time per aircraft (additional aircraft discounted) and can share reports with potential buyers. Buyers pay $99 one-time per aircraft analysis. If you buy from an Airworthy seller, you get a free subscription. During early access, everything is free.
